Tunable Microfluidic Optical Devices with Integrated Microlens Array
The interest in dynamically tuning light has attracted great attention to the fabrication of tunable microlens arrays. Here we discuss the fabrication and characterization of a simple, robust, yet tunable microfluidic optical device with integrated microlens array. The microfuidic device with desired channel structure was micromachined on a polycarbonate plate with a resolution up to 100 μm, fo...
متن کاملElastomeric Optics
This paper describes optical components prepared using poly(dimethylsiloxane) elastomers and liquid metals as constituent materials. Most optical components are fabricated from rigid materials such as glass, rigid polymers, or metals. By contrast, the elastomeric optics described here are designed to be deformable. Because the structure of the optical surface can be deformed easily, a single el...
متن کاملTunable liquid-filled microlens array integrated with microfluidic network.
An elastomer-based tunable liquid-filled microlens array integrated on top of a microfluidic network is fabricated using soft lithographic techniques. The simultaneous control of the focal length of all the microlenses composing the elastomeric array is accomplished by pneumatically regulating the pressure of the microfluidic network. A focal length tuning range of hundreds of microns to severa...
متن کاملTunable-focus liquid microlens array using dielectrophoretic effect.
A tunable-focus liquid microlens array based on dielectrophoretic effect was demonstrated. In a lens cell, two immiscible dielectric liquids but with different dielectric constants are sandwiched between electrodes. One electrode has a holed pattern while the other electrode is continuous. The applied voltage generates an inhomogeneous electric field near the hole regions. Owing to such an elec...
